The CEO's lovely wife

a's

's Valerie" she beamed from the other side. My fuzzy mind became clear and before I knew it "Val" I shouted happily. She laughed at her end. She was my colleague and friend in med school, who promised me she was not going to practice and by the way she kept her word. I can call her my best friend. She always had my back and if I had heard anything from her, I would have invited her to the wedding. I love her so much and tell her almost everything. I love her bubbling and kind personality. "I'm in town" she singsong. "Oh my God, really?" I asked. "Yes baby, do you want to meet up?" she asked happily. "Of course, where do you want to meet up. I can't wait to see you" I replied. "Can you cone to Dina's cafe now? she asked. "Of course, let me get off work and I'll be on my way" I answered. "You're still practicing?" she asked "Yes, I am" I nodded and answered at the same time. "Girlll, I saw your wedding online, you're from rich money and married into rich, why do you still have to work?" she asked surprised. "It's actually not complicated, I love my work, that's all. I love that I can put smile on people's face. I can try my best to make people better" I replied her. "We'll talk about it more, I'm waiting for you" she said. "Off, I come" I said laughing. I stood up, went to the MD's office, told the MD I'll be going for the day. "We appreciate you, you even sacrificed your honeymoon for work, you can go wherever you want to" he said. "Thank you Sir" I said and left his office. I went to the parking lot, entered my car and off to Dina's cafe. I got there in no time. I parked my car outside and entered. I spotted Val, almost immediately and went to her table. She stood up and hugged me, her scent seems delicious. "I've really missed you" she said. "Same here and you smell really nice, delicious, if I may say" I replied. "Awww, thank you darling" she said smiling. "I had to hear about your wedding on social media, that is more than bad, it's worse" she said sounding slightly angry. "It happended too fast and because you wanted to tour the world around, I lost your contact and couldn't get in touch with you anywhere" I said seeming down. "I would have love to come for you, on your happy day. I am sorry" she said. "Ohh no no no, it's actually my fault. I should have found out a way to get in touch with you" she said. "Look at you, I'm supposed to inform you about every country I visit, I was the one who lost touch" she said apologetically. "Which country are you touring currently?" I asked beaming. "Italy!" she said her voice slightly high. "I met a guy there and he really takes good care of me, he buys me everything I ask for and he really loves me, but I'm scared of commitment. I've been meaning to ask about your love life too. Girll, you have to spill the tea, how you met and everything". she said, obviously changing the topic. "I'm happy for you and envy you slightly, you get to travel around the world, meet someone you love and loves you back, treats you well and buys everything you want for you? Babe, that's a lot" I said. She watches me curiously. "
